Chelsea - as I mentioned when we spoke last week, John Delaney is running for Congress in Maryland's 6th District. John is a friend and mentor, having joined my advisory board in support of Enlightenment Capital. He is a quality person and committed Democrat. He was a prolific fundraiser for your mother in 08. Below is a note from him with some background. I appreciate any suggestions on how he could explore some form of support from your father.
Hope to see you soon.
Thanks... Devin

From John Delaney:

Devin,

By way of an overview, I'm running for Congress in Maryland's 6th Congressional District. The District is currently held by a Republican, but a recent redistricting has made it a Democratic leaning District.

While I have never held elected office (other than proudly being elected a Hillary Clinton Delegate in 2008), I have been a life long Democrat and a very active supporter of the Party.

As you know, I spent the last 20 years as a business builder. I started two New York Stock Exchange companies before the age of 40, both focused on lending to small to mid-sized companies. These activities have given me the privilege of creating over 1,000 jobs on Maryland and lending to over 5,000 small companies across the country.  As the son of a Union electrician from parent's who didn't attend college, April and I have tried hard to give back to our community. I am on the Board of Directors of Georgetown University, chaired Catholic Charities, and served on the board of numerous local charities. April run the Washington office for Common Sense Media, where she also serves on the Board. We helped establish the Public Interest Law Institute at Georgetown Law and were honored in 2007 as one of the three outstanding philanthropist in Washington.

In 2007 I was very active in then Senator Clinton's campaign. I hosted and organized a very large fund-raiser at my house in Potomac that raised $750,000 that Hillary attended (and she picked up my then 2 week old daughter from her crib - my youngest of four daughters!).

My campaign - www.Delaney2012.com<http://www.Delaney2012.com> - is about jobs, advancing Democratic values, and being a reformer. As a progressive businessman, my ideas have been very well received.

The primary is April 3rd, my main outside advisor is Bill Knapp, and I would love to do something with President Clinton in NYC (or any other location) that would suit his schedule. Alternatively, a quote of support for a candidacy like mine would be of tremendous value.

As further references, I have four VERY good friends that are close to the President and the Secretary that can serve as character references - Tom Nides, Tom Steyer, Vernon Jordan, and Mickey Kantor.

In appreciation,

John
